Zimbabwe Election

EDM number 1936 in 2007-08, proposed by David Amess on 01/07/2008.
Categorised under the topics of Elections, Human rights and Zimbabwe.

That this House believes the so called election in Zimbabwe was a complete disgrace from beginning to end and that the results do not reflect the will of the people of Zimbabwe; notes with grave concern the atrocious levels of violence and intimidation meted out by Robert Mugabe and his henchmen to the opponents of this dictator; deplores the spineless response of African Union countries and world governments to this election; endorses and, furthermore, will act to ensure that the wise words of Edmund Burke are taken into serious immediate consideration by Parliament, `All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing'; and encourages the rest of the world community to bring forward proposals to invalidate this corrupt election forthwith.

This motion has been signed by a total of 46 MPs.
